Skipper Joel Lodge (60) saw his side home with a valuable knock supported by Adam Rutter (36). However, Danny Conway ( 4-30) almost spoiled the party for the returning tourists bagging four quick wickets which had the home side wobbling – but they stayed calm and won by four wickets in the 38th over.

This week, Aldwick welcome Eastergate to the Felpham Oval in a game which will almost certainly decide who will win the division.

Findon v West Wittering

Div four

Findon won the toss and began with a flurry of runs, but wise old campaigner Kevin Allsobrook took the first wicket.

Wickets fell at regular intervals as Joe Pink and Ollie Lingham-Davis chipped in with the next three victims.

James Henman entered the arena with a great selection of shots, smashing the ball over the fence for a few maximums.

Allsobrook returned to dispose of him, finishing with three for 31 off 11 overs. Findon ended on 215 for seven off 49 overs, Henman scoring 84.

West Wittering’s reply started with a whimper as Mark Taylor was caught behind off the second ball, chasing a wide ball. Plenty of players got in but soon left with their tails between their legs.

The introduction of Chichester leg-spin duo Randell (1-46) and Aru Kathegesu (3-47) put the breaks on the scoring rate as they reduced St Andrews from 132 for two to 159 for four.

Chichester took wickets at regular intervals, with only Ryan Blake (17) getting into double figures. Third spinner Mohan Babu (2-12) helped contain the scoring as St Andrews ended on 195 for eight.

Aldwick 2 v Barns Green 2

Div seven

Aldwick’s comfortable victory against Barns Green by six wickets consolidated their third place in the table and allowed them to make ground on second-placed Warnham and table toppers Broadbridge Heath. Aldwick are now just nine points behind the leaders.

All Aldwick’s five bowlers got among the wickets, bowling out the opposition for just 102. They failed to keep Warren Blanchard quiet and he top-scored with an unbeaten 41 but bowlers Grant Wilson (1-27) , Harry Rosser (3-20), Ceri Marsh (3-6), Ed Firlotte (2-33) and Luke Spindler (1-11) were the stars.

An unbeaten 40 from Aldwick opener Alex Rowland was the base that gave his side victory in the 22nd over. Good support from Wilson (25*) against the impressive bowling of Mathew Cooper (3-21) and James Christer (1-39) was enough to clinch maximum points for the home side.
